I wasn't going to let [Wells] beat me. We had a base open; that was the plan.

Ortiz hit the solo shot and we had the base open, so we figured we'd let Guillermo go after Manny. He was just able to pull it the opposite way.

I have nothing to ask for, thanks to God. Everything I have, God has given me.

God is good for everybody. The sun shines on good people and bad people, and it rains on both, too. God doesn't choose rain only for bad people.

I don't just think regular season. I think playoffs. World Series. That's how I think.

We can't just go there and play around. We have to go there with the mentality that we have to win.
